The 19 XGT® releases span across trades and applications including residential construction, metalworking and woodworking as well as dust extraction, outdoor power equipment, and more.

One Cordless System for Equipment and Tools

The XGT® System gives users one battery platform for a full range of eqXGTuipment and tools, from demolition hammers and high-capacity saws to core handheld tools like drills and impact drivers, and more. The new releases further extend the XGT® System, taking battery-powered products into spaces that have historically been dominated by products powered by cords, gas, and compressed air.

100 XGT® Solutions by the end of 2022

"The May launch further expands XGT® across trades and applications, and it includes seven new cutting and trimming solutions for pro landscapers," said Wayne Hart, senior communications manager, Makita U.S.A. "The new XGT® string trimmers, brush cutter and pole saws are true gas-replacement solutions, and there is more XGT® outdoor power equipment on the way to meet the strong demand for commercial-duty battery-powered OPE. It's all part of the continued growth of the XGT® System, which will reach 100 equipment and tools by the end of 2022."
